Prisca Agustoni
Verso la ruggine
Prisca Agustoni combines her poetic and personal roots, which lie in Italian-speaking Switzerland, with international inspiration and experience. In Verso la ruggine, her most mature and original book of poetry to date, this quality comes to the fore. The book references real events in an intense search for expression, making it one of the best examples of eco-lyrics in Italian. Agustoni’s poems echo epic and ritual poetry, making her writing a link between the archetype of poetic language and the pressing issues of our time.
